    I do this one with leftover pasta
    to a bowl of leftover pasta i add homemade cheese sauce, some cooked bacon or gammon (or chicken if i have some) then fry up some mushrooms, maybe some brocolli, then top it with breadcrumbs mixed with grated cheese and bake. makes a lovely meal with garlic bread and some salad.

    Easy peasy. No need to cook pasta, just throw in. It goes like this:
    Half cup of pasta per person
    any leftover veg from fridge, cooked or uncooked.(broccoli and cauli go at bit mushy if already cooked)
    Pre-cooked chicken( just poach in a little water for 10 mins or so),ham, turkey or whatever, about 1 cup, but could be more.
    I can soup- mix soup with double the can size of water in a jug and pou on. If it's bachelors condensed soup, it's 3 cans of water.
    Mix it all together in a shallow dish
    In oven for 1 hour, adding a handful of grated cheese 15 mins from the end.
    Serve.enjoy.

    sounds lovely......any preference of flavour soup.....am guessing mushroom?what sort of oven temp?

    Tomato based sauce with lots of onions and garlic and chopped basil if you have it. Brown some sausages and chop, part cooked fusilli. Mix it all up and top with grated mozarella or a mix of grated cheddar and mozarella. Bake in oven for about 40 mins. Yummmmmmmmy :)

    Slightly off topic but has anyone seen the colmans ad with Tony Tobin gleefully flogging a packet of bolognaise sauce mix for pasta bake to a family who want something different.Talk about prostituting your art! He ought to be ashamed of his greed at accepting that job.

    Chef-y guy (can't call him a chef now after seeing the ad last night) who used to be on RSCook etc., looks like Fern Britten's OH's[STRIKE]ugly[/STRIKE] not as good looking older brother. I agree with PP, what was he thinking agreeing to that?

    Hi There

    I knock up a stretched bolognaise sauce - and mix it with pasta shapes - put in the oven with grilled cheese

    Or - Cannelloni - pasta tubes filled with meat mixture in sauce and covered with HM bechemel sauce

    Or - Chicken and leek pasta bake - using condensed soup ( this can be made as chicken and pepper/mushroom if leeks dont go down well in your house.

    Or - Bacon and mushroom pasta bake - again mushroom condensed soup - bacon lardons - usually chopped up cooking bacon and mushrooms.

    Or - if you can tolerate it - Tuna as in tuna and sweetcorn bake - i know you did mention meat - but tuna and sweetcorn is a killer combo. Tins of both, with a white sauce ( the fish and sweetcorn is enough to flavour the sauce, can add peas - mix in with cooked pasta shapes - and cover with grated cheese - medium oven 20-25 mins.

    As you can tell there is a grilled cheese topping theme in our house - OH wolfs all of these down without it touching the sides:rotfl:

    Best Wishes

    Trin
